You can play that game with anything though.
People can pick what they waste time on for themselves. I’m not going to spend 2hrs/day on social media, but I might play a video game, read a book, hike in the woods, watch a movie, organize photos, whatever. It’s my time, and mentally checking out for a bit doing something that’s not “productive” gives me energy I can apply to other pursuits.
You are right of course. It's just as time goes by I start to value more productive use of it.
That sounds like a good way to shorten your life.
Oh yeah, definitely an over the top example to point out how micro managing your life isn’t always a good choice… hell, too much stress can kill you and that’s essentially what trying to make the most out of every second will do.
I was thinking about the diseases you'd catch from your unwashed hands.
